References for ♥ Chiara Elisabetta

Where to begin?

Quite unsure to be honest. Yesterday saw my second shoot with Chiara, the first being 3 weeks back (for which I never left a reference oops).

We should have shot ages ago, each time we made plans it seemed that the weather and a global pandemic plotted against us. This time we were going to shoot whatever, two shoots in different locations committed, and we covered some ground across the two shoots. No real plan, a few suggested ideas, looks and themes along with a 'let's see what develops' attitude, otherwise known as winging it!

First off I found myself in Tewksbury, the other side of the blinking country! Chiara had travelled with what seemed like half of her home sets - transforming the location into her own. Working predominantly natural light, Chiara did her thing both in styling and in front of the camera - I simply tried to keep up. Jeez she's good! After just the afternoon in Tewksbury, I began to wonder what I let myself in for with a full day on her home turf.

As the second shoot approached, the weather gods tried to prevent the shoot (again). Over a brief telephone chat a new plan was hatched. Instead of a full day at home we spent the morning in a nearby studio, with even less of a predetermined plan!!! The tardis of a suitcase, allowed a variety of styles and we shot a whole range from simple fashion through to dynamic gels. With the weather improving we decamped back to Chiara's home base. On her home patch a different mood was styled and created, we finished the day in the confines of the Bohemian caravan.

This lady totally rocks in any and all environments - be it a travelling location, studio, or home patch - your not going to be disappointed. Not sure how many looks and styles we covered over the two shoots - but Chiara aced them all. I don't think we had one bad set at all.

If you're unsure as to who to book for your next shoot - you'll not go wrong booking yourself some Chiara time. You'll get:

Fantastic model

Awesome stylist

Wonderful conversation

Laughs throughout the shoot.

and many, many, great images

Wholeheartedly recommended, and look forward to shooting again.

At the end of the tab when creating a reference it says "Would you recommend.....?"

Hell yeah!

It's a little while since we've shot together, & today our planned tepee shoot was wrecked by howling gales & bloody rain. Boy was I disappointed. Not!

That bloody Chiara only went & created a bunch of amazing sets out of a tiny caravan, some bits of material & some sticky back plastic. She ensured I wasn't a "Blue Peter", in fact I was flippin' buzzing.

Combine her modelling skills with her vision & flair for set design & anyone would be delighted with the results she enables you to achieve. Plus she's funny as.... well you get the idea.

"Recommend"? Are you kidding!!!!!!!!

After many years of prevarication - and enforced inactivity - I finally managed to travel darn sarf to shoot with Chiara in her muli-set home studios in Pinewood-on-sea.

As you'd expect from a model of Chiara's calibre, she was ready and waiting to go; professional, friendly, and bursting with energy and ideas as to how best use her many sets. Her knowledge of light and how it falls on the sets was invaluable, and her posing just sublime.

The shoot literally flew by - Chiara is a total joy to work with - and we got many, many fantastic images in between the laughter and merriment.

Altogether a great first in-person shoot after nearly a year's enforced layoff.

Totally recommended by me!

Hopefuly it's something we'll be able to do again in the near future.

Thank you, Chiara, for letting me shoot with you. I'm looking forward to next time!

Wow! My first shoot with Chiara and I couldn’t have asked for more. A fantastic session aided by Chiara’s wonderful styling skills and posing awesomeness. We shot in a lovely space which was really versatile and offered many different looks - again, styled by the lady herself.

I now have a load of fantastic images and cannot decide which to edit first 😁

10/10 would recommend 😁

Shoot number two with Chiara is in the bag and I couldn’t have wished for a better one! Such a fun shoot and taking full advantage of Chiara’s astoundingly cool styling, the resulting images are just beautiful. Chiara is a joy to be around, loads of laughter, great conversation and breathtakingly effortless in front on the camera. I seriously can’t recommend this lovely lady enough!!

Had my first shoot with Chiara yesterday covering a range of themes and concepts. It was great to get out of a studio environment and work with what was available . The location was beautifully dressed by Chiara and time flew by. It was fun and an education to have worked with her and am looking forwards to editing numerous images. Highly recommended :)

At last I got to shoot with Chiara again yesterday after an 8¾ gap since our last shoot! There isn't really anything that I can say that hasn't been said before. A beautiful model and lovely person, Chiara's enthusiasm is infectious. Her styling skills are meticulous and she had gone to amazing lengths to ensure that our sets were exactly what was needed. We shot for an afternoon which simply flew by. Everything combined to result in a perfect shooting experience. I really can't overstate what sheer joy a shoot with her is. I hope it won't be too long before our next one. Very, very highly recommended. Book her now and experience shooting at the next level.

A BEAUTIFUL AND CREATIVE BUNDLE OF JOY AND ENERGY

Had the privilege of shooting remotely with the amazing Chiara.

She was a pleasure to shoot with and has so many wonderful ideas and sets.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Organising another remote shoot already.

Hope to shoot in person one day with this super talented young lady.

I grabbed the chance of a last minute remote shoot with Cheryl.

Her work precedes her, so it was a no-brainer.

Cheryl has sets, clothing, styling and with her creativity it is a winning combo.

Such a professional, we collaborated extremely well.

Her outside jewels of sets have great natural light, weather permitting.

Cheryl has a presence in front of the camera that is special I believe, in one series providing a whole range of different looks and emotions.

If given the opportunity I would work with Cheryl again, I can highly recommend her.

I've lost count of the number of times I've shot with Cheryl, probably approaching a couple of dozen times now, the latest being last week. I'm updating my reference because as well as being a phenomenal model, Cheryl is also a fantastic stylist, as anyone who's shot with her at one of her styled events will attest. For this shoot, I asked Cheryl to bring along some fabrics to our shoot which was taking place in a beiger-than beige hotel room. I wanted to experiment with the room to see if we could get us images that didn't look like a posh Travelodge. Sure enough, as well as bringing a case full of outfits, reams of fabric were soon spilling from her case, allowing us to get images that look amazing. Yet again, I couldn't be happier with the results. I'd recommend any photographer who gets the chance to shoot with Cheryl to do so at the earliest possible opportunity!

One of my last shoots before this pestilence descended was with Chiara so it seems only fitting that one of my first this year should also be with her. Chiara is, as ever, an awesome force of nature. That she is a beautiful and talented model goes almost without saying. But beyond that she has boundless enthusiasm and is a creative stylist and a fantastic photographer in her own right. Once again, working and collaborating with her produced some amazing and original images. And, as if all that wasn't enough, Chiara is a genuinely lovely human being and it's always great fun spending time in her company.

Recommended? Hell yes.

Cheryl was an absolute star stepping in last minute at our Daydream Believers event and totally rocked being a crazy cukoo in a green feather dress! She literally pulled of the vision I had in my head and then some with awesome colourful eye makeup and feathers upon feathers! I honestly couldn’t be happier, thank you! Cheryl is a true artist and her eye for styling and set design is incredible and she was a massive help over the weekend.

She has a lovely warm energy and true raw talent that deserves to be noticed and I am so excited for her creative journey.

You are awesome and you deserve everything coming your way ♥

The Creativity Hub held a weekend event and I was lucky enough to be on the Saturday's event. The models were Emsy, Emily Anderson, Olivia Harriett, Chiara Elisabetta (who was also one of the stylists), Naomi and Pippa. Fabulous day with some awesome posing from each model who were very creative in their style. We got some great results and I feel lucky to have been able to join in on this well organised event. Many thanks ladies, best wishes Jann

Matt Horton

Well what can I say? I genuinely believe Chiara has sold her soul to the devil. It’s the only logical explanation! I mean how Chiara is that damn good at, well, everything it’s got to be that right? This lovely lady is nothing short of incredible. We had an absolute riot working together and the images are fabulous. I can’t thank you enough and I’m already looking forward to the next time! Would I recommend Chiara? Oh hell yes I would! (Just watch out for the coffee!)

What a joy, Chiara is to work with, a complete joy. Warm personality and extremely friendly.

Added to that a great model. We got some really good images in which the time just flew by.

It would be nearly impossible to take a bad picture of her, as she is so beautiful.

I will look forward to shooting with her again.

JeffSp

Have worked with Chiara a few times now and every time we shoot we have an absolute amazing time. She's very friendly, has a great personality and of course Chiara is such a wonderful model. The pre-comm was totally spot on and she arrived with all the right clothes and outfits for the shoot, and many amazing images were created. I would highly recommend her to any photographer, and I do look forward to the next time me and Chiara work together again.

Philip Jenkins

I had the utter pleasure yesterday to work with Chiara. She put me at ease and was a great conversationalist with some amazing ideas during our shoot. I would highly recommend working with her and I would love to do so again in the future.

Yesterday I had my second shoot with Chiara. She was kind enough to let me use her garden which she has decorated with furniture. She had lots of different outfits. She didn't need direction from me. The images I got are amazing. In the last hour of the shoot we went to the beach. I had a lovely time and hope to see her again.
